SambaNova: data residency & retention
Headquarters
🇺🇸 United States (US)
Where inference runs
Not disclosed
No inference/data-center regions disclosed for the cloud API. Privacy policy (SambaNova Systems, Inc., San Jose, CA) says corporate data processing may occur in the US, UK, EEA, Middle East, and Asia Pacific — corporate processing, not API inference locations.
Region pinning
Enterprise plans only
No region controls for the SambaCloud API; enterprises can deploy on-prem (SambaStack/SambaManaged) so data never leaves their environment.
Prompt retention
Not retained
Product page claims 'SambaCloud never sees or collects any of your data or user prompts, ensuring full data privacy' — a marketing claim; no formal API retention policy or window published, and the privacy policy does not address API prompts.
Trains on API data
Not disclosed
No formal statement found. The 'never sees or collects' product claim implies no training on prompts, but the privacy policy is silent on model training.
Zero data retention
Not disclosed
No explicit ZDR program published; trust center (trust.sambanova.ai, SOC 2 Type 2 / ISO 27001) not machine-readable.
